Abstract

This paper presents two strategies to support communication between real-time executable Runnable Virtual Node (RVN) components in the ProCom component technology. We describe the currently implemented server-based communication strategy which uses a dedicated server for communication. We compare the server-based technique with a direct (RVN-to-RVN) communication strategy. The paper also describes how these strategies could be evaluated for real-time performance, and the real-time analysis technologies needed to perform such an evaluation.
